bullet.pc.in out of sync

[kickvb]

I make a copy of my previous post on http://bulletphysics.org/Bullet/phpBB3/ ... ?f=9&t=918 because I got no answers while I think it is important. Sorry for the redundancy.

It seems that bullet.pc.in is again out of sync.

It specifies:

Code: Select all

Libs: -L${libdir} -lbulletdynamics -lbulletcollision -lbulletmath

while it should be

Code: Select all

Libs: -L${libdir} -lBulletDynamics -lBulletCollision -lLinearMath

and I guess that "-lBulletSoftBody -lBulletMultiThreaded" would also need to be added.

The CamelCasy names are problematic on Unix systems, while the conversion from bulletmath to LinearMath is even worse.

Sure, so you have a patch for this (in the google issue tracker)?

CMake is our primary build system for all platforms, and it seem to have no problems with CamelCasy names. What is the actual problems you face?

I haven't the time to do it today, I'll do it tomorrow.

I'm working on the Crystal Space Engine (http://www.crystalspace3d.org) that provides among many other things a wrapper over Bullet (and ODE btw). Crystal Space is running on a quite wide variety of platforms and distros, and we faced the problem of having the need for '-lbulletdynamics -lbulletcollision -lbulletmath' on some platforms, and '-lBulletDynamics -lBulletCollision -lLinearMath' on others.

By default a GNU/Linux user of Crystal Space would probably install the libBullet* and bullet.pc files provided by the bullet package and will result in the configure of Crystal Space not finding Bullet. Correcting the bullet.pc.in would resolve that problem.
